When Living With Daily Rape Threats

Another Moumita Debnath tragedy in the making in Goa?

A neighbor attacked my family & home in Goa, on Oct 19, 2024, while I was in Bombay; he publicly said to send my 12 years old daughter out so that he could rape her. Oct 26, I found that he & an accomplice had lured an underage girl to a lodge & gang-raped her, Oct 4, 2024. I don't have direct evidence, nor info on the victim. Lodge's CCTV, I'm told, is retained for 30 days. If I report to cops, they will usually turn it against me. Yet, I'm against the idea of allowing a serious crime like this to pass unpunished. Oct. 27, I was told that the Perpetrator had boasted that he would rape all three of my daughters. I can't stay here indefinitely, but my wife is terrified. I want the police to arrest the Perp, but today's the 10 day, & no punitive action as yet. In absence of arrest, main Perpetrator Damodar Naik @ Vishant, & secondary Perpetrator Arun Naik are emboldened.


They're intimidating visitors to my house, even the electrician who came to repair my ceiling fan!
